“a picture speaks a thousand words”… so let these pictures “speak”

These photos are from a powerful 2 minute video posted by Rudy Rochman (link below). They tell a story – a very powerful story. The story is of the choice people like you and I now face – and will increasingly face in the days ahead: the choice between apathyor taking a stand.

Be inspired.

Antisemitismisrealandvery much alive.

Not only inEurope, but inAmerica.

On October 6, 2016, a man came to Columbia University in New York City where he harassed, insulted and spread antisemitic lies – calling Jews “Christ-killers” and praising Hitler.

Some students supported the man…

Others walked by and ignored him.

[pause]

Perhaps your reaction right now is:

“So, it’s just one guy.“

Perhaps like many others, you’d justwalk byanddo nothing…

Consider another option.

[unpause]

Watch “justone guy” silently take a stand.

…then watch another person silently join him.

Two peoplenow taking a stand.

…then more people joined them.

The time for apathy has passed

Apathy resulted in 6 million Jews being murdered during the Holocaust.

Yet, even then there were people like Corrie Ten Boom and Dietrich Bonhoeffer that would not – could not remain silent and do nothing.

What about now?

What about you?

Please consider sharing this link and the link to the video to raise awareness of the dramatic increase in antisemitism here and around the world.
